[Intro]

Yeah

[Chorus]

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

We could've been Perfect

You've ruined everything

And now I'm in the last place I deserve

Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt

We could've been perfect

[Verse 1]

Yeah

We could've been perfect

If it wasn't for your two friends

One in the blue dress

One in the blue can

Knew you hung around the wrong people

Knew you did the wrong things

But I ain't give a damn

Nah, I ain't give a damn

Blinded by the smile and I had to give it a chance

I should've ignored you

But I was sticking by myself

When you hit me on the cell

I was tripping and I fell

Towards you

And fell for you

Been on this mission to get through hell for you

In this position I'm witnessing the differences within our characteristics but your physical description got me like "Well"

Oh you don't have to be perfect

Lie by myself I was lying to myself

Like you worth it

Pretty ass, pretty ass smirk

And a pretty ass face on an ugly ass person

Now it outweighs all

I see it always

Like catching the game's ball

But losing the ball game

I knew it wouldn't work

But I still wanted your touch

And when I lost it it just hurt so much

Cause I know

[Chorus]

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything, yeah

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

And now I'm in the last place I deserve

Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt

We could've been perfect

[Verse 2]

I remember the first date

We saw a movie in town

I was so damn nervous

How stupid that sound

I usually suck with the conversations and staying verbal

But afterward we talk as long as the movie plus all 'em commercials

It was all just really new

You were so beautiful, I was so into you

Soon after we took a break I was doing an interview

When you texted me "I been missing you"

Oh I was frozen

The radio heard me choking

Do you know how invincible I felt in that very moment?

I never had a girl that I was in to be into me

It was a whole new world, I was happy as a kid could be

We both had dreams they told us not in our reach

But I watched you in theatre you stole every single scene

I knew you acted, just didn't know you were acting when with me

A shame you started acting differently

[Chorus]

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

And now I'm in the last place I deserve

Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt

We could've been perfect

[Verse 3]

Yeah

We could've been perfect

But you finally showed me who you really were as a person

At first it was real different

But I tried to stick it out and deal with it

Like remember when you had me stop talking to my closest friend who was a female 'cause you said you felt threatened by her?

Remember when I buy you your favorite color reefer for a holiday that you don't even celebrate and got nothing in return?

Remember when you drink and I wouldn't make a move only 'cause I didn't wanna do something you could regret?

And remember after we split you made lies about what I did when you'd been drinking but to my face you denied what you said

For the record I still think about you

How could I forget this?

I heard you cried when you heard the last song

That wasn't my intention

I just wrote what I was feeling in that moment

The harsh reality in dating a poet

Hold up, I just want you to know that I don't hate you

And I'll admit

When I see you in the halls I wish we'd talk again

I don't want you to cry

But you should feel regretful

Just know we had potential girl

[Chorus: Token]

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

We could've been perfect

You've ruined everything

And now I'm in the last place I deserve

Far enough to be alone close enough to get hurt

We could've been perfect

[Outro: Token]

Yeah

You ain't gotta cry no more, no

You ain't gotta cry no more, no

You ain't gotta cry no more

You ain't gotta cry no more, no

You ain't gotta cry no more

You ain't gotta cry no more, no

You ain't gotta cry
